Austen is a great big brother. He will do anything for his new baby. He feeds him, changes him, "reads" to him, sings, dances, anything that needs to be done. There is one thing he can't handle as evidenced by this comment he made today:
"Mom! Peter barped on me. You take care of it. He's your baby."

Aaron likes his hotwheels HOT
Our toaster is in a cupboard accessible to Aaron. It can't be child-proofed.
The toaster is irresistible to him.
He sneaks it out every day and puts pieces of paper and hotwheels cars in it.

Conversation Between Daddy and His Henry
Daddy: "What is this" (they were coloring together)
Henry: "Um... um, I'll put a gun on it!"
Daddy: "But what is it?"
Henry: "I'll draw squares on it. There's a square, there's a square. I drew a square, so look at it!"
Henry: "Um... um, I'll put a gun on it!"
Daddy: "But what is it?"
Henry: "I'll draw squares on it. There's a square, there's a square. I drew a square, so look at it!"

Aspirations of a 5-month-old
I caught Austen consoling his baby brother, Peter, today with this: "Don't worry, you'll be a superhero someday"

name change
Austen asked me if he could change his name to Spiderman. I said yes. He asked if he could tell his friends to call him Spiderman. I said yes. I am now asking all of you to call him Spiderman, per his request, and would appreciate if you did so in the future. Thank you.

AWANA Grand Prix Cars
This is my Henry painting the only part that he considered himself qualified for, a solid black coat of paint...
Austen has a little more confidence in his painting skills, he only let me help him with the lettering and the front window...
Henner showing off his "fast police car with no abcd's"
Austen, as usual, modeling for the camera...
The finished products:
